-Elizabeth's POV-

As Meliodas had gotten his finger bandaged up, I forced him out of the room to speak to Jelamet alone.

"Is something wrong?" I asked. I sighed, saying "Does pregnancies usually hurt?"

"Not really, have you experienced any pain?"

"Yes... These past days, it has really hurt. I have ignored it to not make Meliodas overreact, but it just becomes worse and worse."

"Sit and tell me, how did it start?"

"At first, it wasn't even noticeable, but it doubles every day... Yesterday, I was in pain at both morning and evening... I just want it to stop..."

"I will run a couple tests on you and maybe I can tell after?"

I nodded.

. . . . .

"So?"

"I didn't find anything wrong... so I really don't know Elizabeth. Maybe you should go to someone else that might know?"

"Maybe..."

"How was it yesterday at the mall? Did it hurt then too? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Well, you was so happy and excited, I didn't want to ruin that. Besides, it didn't really hurt at that moment... it only hurts some times... mostly at the lunch time and when I goes to sleep."

"I have no idea what's happening to you Elizabeth, but you should go and find someone that might know..."

"I will, thank you for everything."

"It's no problem. I hope things go easier with Meliodas later."

Nodding, I said "Yesterday was completely fine after the fight... he didn't whine or anything, but I felt so bad for him that I let him do pretty much what he wanted..."

She nodded, asking "Did you like it?"

"Not really..."

"Well, someday you will find someone. Just make sure Meliodas doesn't get too attached to you now..."

"I will, don't worry. Anyways, how is it with Mael?"

"Pretty much in the same state as Meliodas, but his arm was broken too."

"That doesn't sound fun. You have to take care of him now. I have to go, don't want Meliodas to keep waiting, but I will see you later, right?"

"Yes, see ya."

"Bye..." I said and walked out of the room, just to stop as someone shook me by the shoulders.

"Why didn't you tell me?! You should have told me!" Meliodas said, his hands going to my waist together with his eyes.

"W-wha-"

"If the baby is hurting you, I would have made sure to take care of you even more..." He mumbled, hugging me. With a sigh, I said "I don't want you to take care of me. Can we just go home now? I want to rest."

"Okay..."

. . . . .

As I laid down in bed, Meliodas came and sat at the edge close to me.

"How does your stomach feel?"

"You don't need to know." I mumbled and turned around. I felt him lay down behind me, whispering "I want to know how you feel... I want to make sure you are okay..."

I didn't answer as I just felt his arm go around my stomach while asking "Does this hurt?"

"Only when you put pressure against it..." I mumbled. He turned me around until I laid on my back. My eyes met his as he was now hovering over me.

Then he closed the space between us and kissed me. Once I got back to my senses, I pulled him away. He let me, but continued hovering over me as he asked "Are you okay?"

"You are trying too hard..."

"What?"

"To make me fall for you, you are trying too hard." I mumbled. He stared me in the eyes, asking "But you starts to like me that way, don't you? You have been acting like it."

"No, I don't."

"Yes-"

"No, I have tried to love you, for the child, but I just can't... I just can't love you Meliodas, so please just stop trying."

He laid back down beside me with a sigh.

"Why can't I ever do anything right? Why can't I just get you to love me like everyone else does to the ones they are in love with."

"Well, it's kinda hard to love someone who doesn't even let you to get to know them... You never talk about yourself... And you are always acting like some rich brat when you go home to others."

"I do not..."

"Yea you do. 'Your living room is the size of my closet', 'Is that those really small dog baths, but for humans?' and 'I want to live at my place, this is too small' is just q couple stuff you have said. Everyone aren't as rich as you, but you act like they are, but don't want to be. It's annoying."

"I'm sorry, but I don't know how you others live, so I don't know what's normal or not. I have always grown up with the best and only the best, so I really don't know how it is to have less money."

I started feeling a bit more irritated, just wanting to be alone now.

"Can you just... go and sleep on the couch? I'm really tired and wants to be alone."

"For real...?" He asked. I just nodded, not saying anything. He sighed and kissed my cheek, saying "Good night then... I love you..."

Then I just heard him leave.
